Assisted Living Communities in Lombard, IL

"My tour at The Sheridan at Oak Brook was very positive and extremely helpful. I had a friend with me, and a woman named Adi showed us around. She just was patient and explained everything very thoroughly. We saw the areas where card games would be played, their game rooms. They had something I never saw before, a bar, and they could serve light meals there. We saw three apartments, and they were interesting. I think their buildings are only two or three years old. They have white countertops, which are great for seniors. The way the windows work and everything, it's all very well done. The floors are nice and straight, and it has excellent carpeting. They have one thing that I thought is a very good idea. People can come in and change things like the color of the walls or the carpeting, but when they leave, they have to have it restored to its original state, that was nice. The apartments were good sizes and well done. We saw a bus, and they provide transportation at least three days a week. It could be the whole week, but by appointment, and within seven miles. That is very nice, especially for doctor's appointments, and things like that."

"I like the staff at Brighton Gardens of Wheaton. They are very involved and caring. It is very clear that they love the residents there and they look out for them. I was able to eat there, and the food was good. They have a good selection, it's fresh, cooked well, and it doesn’t feel institutional at all. We've been very happy with them. The room is very nice, and the bathroom is very nicely laid out. It's very easy for my mom to get around, and she just finds it perfectly comfortable for herself. Actually, everything about it, physically, is very nice. "

"It's a lot better putting my husband at Belmont Village; wish I had done this to begin with. They have levels of care but he's still in the assisted living. It impresses me that an RN is in the building and on duty 24/7. They have their own staff that fits to his need 24 hours a day but that would be extra pay. Right now, I'm very pleased. I think his room at Belmont is larger or it's just the way it was configured. It's very bright and the bathroom is nice even if it's not huge. When we moved his furniture in, they couldn't be more cooperative. They're very accommodating too. They check on them frequently at night and seemed very concerned to everyone. Cleanliness is great, no odor. It's a very up to date place. "

"We like it. The place was new, nice, and clean. They offered lots of things. It's out on a major street, but that's OK. They don't have much grounds though. The rooms were nice."

"We toured Brookdale Lisle's independent living for our father-in-law. Our salesperson, who's also the person who gave us the tour, was very nice. She answered all of our questions, showed us everything, and a couple of rooms. She showed us a studio and a one-bedroom, the ones we were interested in. She also showed us their nursing station and all their amenities. She was very pleasant and we enjoyed having the tour with her. They had a pool for exercising, a library, and a fitness room. They have a little garden outside and a garden group if you want to go gardening. It seemed like they had activities throughout the day, too. Their dining room was very clean and very nice. They had a little outside patio in the summertime. They put tables and umbrellas out there if you wanted to eat outside, and that was nice. The room we saw seemed very clean. The people we saw seemed happy to be there. There was a room where people got together and played board games. We saw a few people doing that and people exercising in the exercise room. It was a pretty big facility, and it was very clean. My father-in-law was pleasantly surprised. He said it was a lot nicer than he thought it would be, and I agree with him. We might be going back because they have happy hours every Friday, so my father-in-law kind of wanted to go to one to meet more people to kind of help make up his mind."

"A wonderful concept of providing care. Instead of being an institutional environment, it is a comfortable single-family home that has been designed for this purpose. My grandmother loved the fact that she lived in a single family home, with three other residents, while getting all the help that she needed. I would recommend Golden Age to anyone who is looking for a place that offers assisted living. Like they claim...at Golden Age you don't live in a home, you live at home."

"Driving up, the facility is well-lit and maintained. It's a welcoming, new building. Inside, the counter people are very aware of people coming in and check I.D. and confirmed that I was indeed her grandson. The hallways are wide, with rails to assist those who need it. Inside of the apartment, everything is designed to be accessible and easy to use. I liked that my grandmother had to "check in" every morning, and if she didn't, entry was made into her apartment to ensure that she was ok, hadn't fallen, etc.. "

"Concord Place was very clean and very nice. My only concern was that the rooms were so small. It used to be a hotel and I didn't see any residents. It also didn't seem like they had enough help for my needs. I've known people who have lived there and moved back here for that same reason. "

"After living at another facility for two years, I moved into the Gardens. What a difference. Much more attractive, pleasant, and well maintained. My sugar readings have gone down, and for the first time in years, my sugar levels are always in normal range. This is due mainly to the balanced nutritious meals served in the dining room. There are always enough choices for me to make a wise healthy choice. My studio apartment is spacious and very comfortable. And compared to other facilities, the price is right! "

"We loved Clarendale of Addison. The people were very nice and my parents absolutely loved it. The tour was great, the woman we talked to was great, everybody was very pleasant, and the residents talked to us and were very kind. It was all very nice. The rooms were very nice, large, and well-kept. We haven't found an efficiency room that's large enough, but my parents liked it for how it's kept up, and that the room has a separate bedroom. It was nice and very clean, and in good condition as far as how it looked. I would certainly recommend this community to anybody at all. Everything was great and based on the list of activities, my parents would have been very happy there. The whole thing would have been very nice."

"I think this is a very beautiful place. I don't need any help right now but would definitely consider this place for when and if I do down the road. The employees were very friendly and the lady that showed us around was very helpful. I really liked the different dining options instead of just having one place all the time. I will consider this place when and if I need help for sure."

"I visited Sunrise assisted living. It was very nice and cozy, but I thought the dining room was very dark. It wasn't lit well. However, the living room was very pretty. When you walked in, it was very cozy. They had a nice dog and a nice fireplace, but the dining room just seemed too dark. I thought the rooms were very small. I thought the thing that stood out to me was the level and quality of care because that seemed pretty good, but not the building because it seemed small. It needed to be brightly lit. It was too dark. "

"We went to Sunrise of Bloomingdale, and we were very pleased with them. I have nothing but good to say about them. The staff was super down-to-earth and helpful. I just thought it was nice. The people were friendly, and the place was clean. I've tried their food, and it was good."

"We moved my father-in-law into Sunrise of Naperville North, and it's been great. The staff members seem fantastic. I have no complaints. I loved the food I had. They have chair exercises, cooking classes, they make Christmas cards, and they have a walking club. His room is great, and he likes it. It's the smallest room they have. The facility is a little bit older than others, but they knew what they were doing."
